Pontiac Torrent Steering Safety Report | Oct 25, 2010
Reported on Oct 25, 2010
| I HAD BEEN TO A TOWN THAT WAS APPROX 30 MILES FROM MY HOME TO TAKE CARE OF SOME ERRANDS. I RETURNED BACK TO MY HOMETOWN AND STOPPED BY A STORE TO GRAB A COUPLE OF THINGS BEFORE HEADING TO WORK. I THEN RETURNED TO MY CAR AND PROCEEDED TO CRANK IT AND DRIVE OFF BUT WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO TAKE OFF I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL BUT MAYBE AN INCH OR TWO. I CALLED MY DAD TO COME AND CHECK IT BECAUSE HE IS A MECHANIC AND HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AFTER IT BEING SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES HE CRANK IT UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL THEN WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT I WORK NIGHTS SO I DO NOT NEED TO BE STRANDED IN A DARK PARKING LOT. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR A YEAR. I BOUGHT IT USED BUT IT HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. IT HAS AROUND 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR | |
